My glucose level was way to high and the this diet was the only thing that helped reduce it. I now see that my insulin resistance is correcting itself. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes. I look forward to seeing more.

Here are my replies to your comments:
– This period is very short, and is meant mostly to rid the dieter of his/her cravings and reduce his/reliance on excessive carbs (thinkof many people’s daily diet of sandwiches/pizza/pasta/soda/chips going out the window: Sounds good to me
– All fats used are super healthy
– It is packed solid with plant foods
– It includes lots of exercise
– It reintroduces whole grains and fruit after just a few weeks
I am only sorry you rejected my story out of hand, as opposed to really giving it your attention and seeing its merits.

Mon, 04 Nov 2013 14:40:04 +0000http://www.levanacooks.com/?p=9919#comment-25689Science and research is showing that people who eat high fat and high protein meals are more susceptible to diseases. The body cannot fight infection on an Atkins type diet. It is such a shame that so called nutritionists are promoting such a diet for even a few weeks. Human beings were made to work out and do some sort of physical activity. As a endocrine nurse I have seen so many unhealthy people succumb to disease based on solely meat, cheese and dairy. The healthiest people are those who eat plant based meals and whole grain foods. Who also laugh, and don’t get offended so easily. There is no way I would promote a high fat meal plan.

Believe me I am not considering this brief diet period as a license to eat junk,or fatty burgers and steaks etc…None of that. No matter what, I would only use natural and unprocessed foods, and that is exactly what I tell people to do, as you will see in the post.

I have a normal weight and I am in perfect health Thanks Gd, and eat nothing but natural foods, no junk whatsoever. I made that very clear in my post, so for all practical purposes, I don’t feel your comments apply to me. Please don’t be heartbroken, it is not necessary: You may know I am constantly making valuable contributions in the world of heathy eating.

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:59:39 +0000http://www.levanacooks.com/?p=9919#comment-25606Oh it breaks my heart to see a righteous person support the Atkins diet, which I thought was debunked years ago as an unhealthy and totally unsustainable way to eat.
All the research now is pointing us in one direction: a plant-based diet. When every single health expert in the country tells you to eat whole plant foods and minimize meat consumption, what they aren’t saying is that really, we should eat no meat They just know it’s hard to get people to accept that. Even Kaiser-Permanente (who, unlike Big Pharma and even the doctors, food corporations, etc) actually wants people to be healthy has recommended a ‘vegan’ diet. I’m getting close to 60 myself and I’m a size 2. Of course you can’t eat vegan cookies and potato chips all day, no way of eating can make you thin if you eat the wrong things. But eating this way has the benefit of being purely Kosher in a way that eating meat can never be. And it’s the only environmentally sustainable diet, that’s a fact you can understand by looking it up starting with the UN Climate Change report.
Veganism is sweeping Israel over the last couple of years. Jews are a light unto the world, we should be taking the lead on a compassionate and healthy way to live.

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:03:34 +0000http://www.levanacooks.com/?p=9919#comment-25597I ate the same exact way when I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes. It was fun to eat so much fat! Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with breast cancer 6 months after giving birth, and then learned that high fat diets are linked to breast cancer. I don’t know if my disease was in fact the result of my pregnancy diet, but please be aware and careful.
